John, Thanks for the reply. I have both of those.
What I'm thinking about is a measurement standard. That is, how do I know that my 'standards' are accurate? That brings to mind the 'thermal converter' issue. The 8506A apparently uses a 'thermal converter' as part of its measurement process. The individual A55 Thermal Converters can be used for their various ranges but might be more expensive if you collect all of them. So, the question is how would you go about 'proving' that your reference is indeed accurate? As best I can tell, this has to do with comparing it to some DC reference by virtue of an RMS (thermal, as best I can tell) comparison.
